JOINING ISRAEL, JORDAN AND THE PA IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. Another one of Peres' bright ideas:

The World Bank has finished a series of public hearings on a project which will link the Red Sea in the Gulf of Eilat to the depleted and polluted Dead Sea, located between Israel and Jordan. The project, which calls for the digging of a canal between the two bodies of water, has been touted by President Shimon Peres as part of the "Peace Valley" scheme which he believes will bring Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and Israel closer together.

Another case of ignoring the long term implications of an idea.
Apparently, like Peres' other ideas--this one too just doesn't hold water.
